But it will be fun and I'm ready for a new adventure. My last few days in Alpine have been a Rollercoaster of weird emotions and I'm exhausted, I kind of wish I could lay down and catch up with myself and rest, but God doesn't stop working so I don't want to be behind schedule.         The past few days have included the craziest storms I've ever witnessed in my life.
